A headset includes a thermal frame disposed within a housing. A printed circuit board (PCB) is thermally coupled to the thermal frame. Heat generated by one or more electrical components on the PCB is transmitted to the thermal frame, which distributes the heat uniformly throughout the headset. A first heat pipe is disposed on a first side of the PCB in contact with at least a portion of the thermal frame, the PCB, and/or an electrical component disposed on the PCB to draw heat from the electrical component, and a second heat pipe is disposed proximate a second side of the PCB and is configured to draw heat from second side of the PCB.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
7. The headset of claim 1, further comprising a thermal frame coupled to an interior perimeter of the housing, the thermal frame configured to disperse thermal energy into the environment outside the headset.
9. The device of claim 8, wherein the thermal frame is coupled to an interior perimeter of the housing and is configured to disperse thermal energy into an environment outside the device.
10. The device of claim 8, further comprising one or more vias disposed in the PCB and configured to transfer thermal energy from the first side of the PCB to the second side of the PCB.
11. The device of claim 8, wherein the first portion of the second heat pipe is configured to draw thermal energy from the electronic component and the PCB and the second portion of the second heat pipe is configured to transfer the thermal energy to the thermal frame.
14. The device of claim 8, wherein the first end portion and the second end portion contact the thermal frame and are configured to transfer thermal energy to the thermal frame.
17. The device of claim 15, wherein the second heat pipe is disposed proximate the PCB and in contact with the thermal frame, wherein the second heat pipe is configured to draw heat from the SoC and the PCB and to transfer thermal energy to the thermal frame.
18. The device of claim 17, wherein the PCB includes a first side and a second side, wherein the SoC is disposed on the first side of the PCB and the second heat pipe is disposed proximate the second side of the PCB.
